My team has to receive regular updates from various organizations that we collaborate with. Previously, we sent emails and they would respond with their updates and associated documents (worksheets, monthly updated spreadsheets). I would then have a separate list to track who actually responded with their updates, and how many new items they provided.

This meant I had to keep going back and find that email, sift through who responded and go to a separate window to check off my tracker.
Using forms, these collaborators can easily submit their updates, they immediately show up in a board so I can quickly skim to see who has responded and who hasn’t, and easily download the worksheets and spreadsheets they sent. Once I finish incorporating a collaborator’s updates into my monthly report, I archive their pulse.

I also included an automation such that when a form is submitted, I get an email notification with a snapshot of 1) who submitted, 2) whether they have any updates to report, 3) what item numbers they are reporting on, and 4) if they had any extra comments.

@lambentdream This is a great board, seriously robust use of the Forms tool and I love the archive workflow for cleanliness - I imagine this is a huge improvement from your previous tracking method. Thank you for sharing!!
